Hockessin, DE Carpenters

“Five stars is what you deserved!!. You came to my house, examine the project (I needed drywall on my bathroom ceiling and painting), I was given a fair price. You said that you would be completed in three days and you were!! WOW!. This company was professional, respected my home and me. My bathroom looks great. I am so glad there are companies like yours around. I will use you again. Please stay the same.”

“We had several rooms of the house painted as well as an exterior wooden porch railing. The back sunroom required the most work. The room was originally monochrome, so the ceiling needed to be patched and painted white and three walls needed to be a different color. Then we had a brick wall which needed to be painted white. The kitchen walls were re-painted. The upstairs bedroom ceiling was re-painted. The outside front porch railing needed scraped, skimmed, primed and painted as well as a small portion of exposed wood on the side of the house. Ted was among 4 painters from whom I obtained estimates. Each gave their opinion on what they though should be done in the sunroom which was the most complicated area. Ted was the most precise and knowledgeable. He backed up his opinions with fact and logic. His estimate was not the highest nor the lowest. But he was the only one who broke down the estimate in a clear and concise manner enabling me to choose some or all of the options. He then emailed me a list of references to contact. All the references I contacted praised his work ethic and performance. He then came over with the contract and clearly explained what each section meant before we both signed it. The work was started three days later as he had promised and he sent his best painter, Jules, to do the job. Jules was amazing. His careful attention to detail, his respectful attitude and meticulous methods made things go smoothly. The entire job took about 5 days. At the end of each day, Jules cleaned up the work area and neatly arranged his supplies in a corner out of the way. He was the most easy going, fastidious person I have ever met. When there was a lapse in communication and he inadvertently painted the brick wall green instead of white, I called Ted and the problem was immediately fixed, no questions asked. I kept apologizing to Jules but he just said, "don't worry, it's not a problem." He is a rare find, in my opinion. Ted stopped by on the third day, to check everything and make sure the work was satisfactory. I would not hesitate to recommend Ted and his team to anyone and welcome the opportunity to provide him a reference.”

“Sean is a great professional. He does excellent work - he has done 3 finished basements for different family members. He is excellent at small or larger jobs. He is honest and reliable. I would highly recommend Sean.”

“Greg finished my basement. He and his partner did all of the custom cabinet work including a beautiful bar, a back bar with sink and a powder room. They also did all the framing and subcontracting that included electric, plumbing, flooring, masonry and finish work. Greg and the people Greg works with are honest, professional and skilled crafts people.”

“Jeff Troyer is an amazing carpenter, has unique ideas and is a true, trustworthy professional. He crafted custom sliding barn doors from old Lancaster County, PA barn wood for our new home and they are absolutely the best feature in our home.”

“New Creation added an 18' by 20' addition to my house. I found them very honest, hard working, eager to please, co-operative and reasonable cost. There were no misunderstandings. Changes to the original contract were done with appropriate cost. I felt they had my best interests as their best interest and they did talk me out of a few things which they explained were not necessary. After the project was finished, I missed having them around. I highly recommend them. I will be happy to speak by phone; 856-468-8537, or by e-mail: meanddelcanotc@verizon.net, with anyone contemplating hiring New Creation for a project. I will also allow inspection of the project. Ernest M. Kraus”

“We hired Woodworks of Wilmington Inc. to design and build some custom cabinets for our new home. From the first call, they were great to deal with. Very accommodating with our schedules, Scott was also able to make a few recommendations that we hadn't thought of that really added to the overall impact. During the process they let us know how things were moving, and were able to adjust their schedule to keep up with the moving target of building our new home. They were always on-time and extremely respectful of our home - we could not have asked for more. Scott and Scotty were also very easy to talk with and work with. We felt we were working with friends! They followed up after the installation to make sure everything was okay. We have had nothing but positive comments from friends and family when they see the cabinets, and we highly recommend them. The workmanship was excellent, more than year later, the cabinets still are awesome, and if we ever need more woodworking done, we will be calling them.”

“Frank and his team provide quality craftsmanship. I have worked on several of his projects and high recommend him for the beautiful woodworking that he does. His projects are always on time, the job sites are always kept clean and he pays exceptional attention to the smallest detail. As a designer and decorative artist I have seen endless projects done by other contractors and carpenters and Frank always stands out as one of the best that I have worked with. He also has a great reputation with other trades and suppliers. You can't go wrong in hiring Frank.”

“We hired ZSR this spring to renovate our kitchen. It was a major project that included removing soffits, removing two walls, reconfiguring islands, installing new cabinets, building a custom cabinet, re-routing some plumbing, installing new lighting, hiding a header, etc. Zach and Shawn did an excellent job. We have the kitchen of our dreams, and they were a dream to work with! We couldn't be happier with ZSR. They were punctual, precise, clean, polite, flexible, creative, hard-working, responsive. We would highly recommend them (and we have to anyone who even hints they might be thinking about a home renovation.) The entire project took 5.5 weeks, and the few bumps we ran into were addressed quickly and professionally. They clearly take pride in their work, which means high-quality results. Thank you, ZSR!”

“Being particular about my home and its improvements, I sought out several contractors to finish my basement and enhance my home with decorative trim. Being nervous the first time approving work for Deacon Home Enhancements to do, as it was important to get that right look, the final work was amazing. At this point and after years in our homes (we're in our second home now), I would not trust anyone but Jeff and Deacon Home Enhancements to do the work for me and my wife. The work has always been finished to beyond my expectations and I have used Jeff's business again and again over the years and will continue to do so.”
